4. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
THE INSTALLATION, ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND FIRST
OPERATION OF THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT
BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.
• Electrical connection must be made to the xed wiring of the property using
appropriately rated cable by means of a connection box and protected by a 13A
fuse.
• The heater is a double insulated (class II) appliance and so does not require an
earth connection.
• Switch power on.
5. OPERATION
• The thermostat maintains temperature as set by the user.
• The maximum position of the thermostat corresponds to approximately 35°C,
the minimum (*) is approximately 5°C.
• Note that the heater has a frost protection minimum thermostat setting of
5°C. If the room temperature drops below this the heater will remain on at a
minimum setting.
• Adjust the thermostat and operate clockwise until it reaches a comfortable
temperature.
• Then turn the thermostat dial in the opposite direction just until you hear a
“click”. Turn the thermostat dial (only slightly) in a clockwise direction.
• The heater will now maintain this set temperature.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Before cleaning, ensure the power is off and that it has cooled completely.
• Wipe the exterior of the heater with a soft dry cloth.
• Never use any chemical or abrasive cleaners.
• The heater is equipped with a lter to protect the heating elements against dust
and dirt.
• The lter can be removed and inserted on the right or left, gure 5.
• To ensure correct operation of the heater we recommend cleaning the lter
once every 6 months, or if there any visible signs of blockage of the air inlet &
outlet grille, ensuring you replace the lter back in the heater.
Thermal Cut-out
The unit is tted with a safety thermal cut out that will operate in the event
of the unit overheating. The thermal cut out will automatically switch off the
heating element and fan motor but the power indicator lamp will still be
illuminated.
In the event of the cut out operating:
1. Turn off the power to the heater and allow to cool for 15/20 minutes.
2. Check the lter and clean if necessary.
3. Remove any other possible causes of overheating (ensure the air inlet and
outlet grilles are not obstructed).
4. Turn power back on to unit and check operation.
